The Housewife by Valerie Keogh
2.0
Diane has the perfect life. She met and married Paul, the perfect man. They moved into the perfect home. She has a perfect little girl named Emma. Then why is the perfect life falling apart .... why did Diane have a breakdown .... why has her husband changed? And, why can't she remember any of the events that led to her breakdown and hospital stay?
It has been month since she was released from the hospital and Diane is determined that life get back to normal. So, when Paul tells her that Emma has been accepted at a nursery school, she decides to take a volunteer position. On her very first day at the charity shop, she recognizes a customer - but where does she know this woman from? Soon she is seeing the woman everywhere and is convinced that she is being stalked. Then she starts hearing a baby crying and small flashes of what .... memories? She can't tell Paul .... he will think that she is hallucinating .... or is he the one behind it all? And why does she have such horrible thoughts when she enters the room that she used to adore?
I received an ARC of this book and was liking it okay - until the end. It was going along at a good pace and all of sudden, it was over, solved and wrapped up with a nice little bow in just a few pages. For me, the ending was just not realistic at all. 2 stars because of the poor ending to this book.
